Outlook randomly "forgets" POP username/password

I recently installed Outlook 2003 and it seems to, at
random times, "forget" the username and password
information for my POP3 mail account, even though I
checked the "Remember" button.

I have two POP accounts, and have Outlook configured to
automatically check both of them every 15 minutes. Most
times this works just fine. Lately, two or three times a
day I get a dialog saying, "Enter the username and
password for this account" with the info already filled
in, but it requires me to hit "OK" before it'll do the
Send/Receive with the server. This dialog also has a
checkbox for "Remember this information", which I
regularly check, and still I get prompted. Not every
time, just whenever Outlook feels lonely, apparently. It
happens on both accounts that I have configured, though
not both together at the same time.

I've tried deleting the accounts and recreating them.
Problem came back within a couple of days.

Could this be an ISP problem rather than an Outlook
problem? Are there any log files I can check? Is it (by
any chance) a known Outlook problem, and is there a
workaround?

Thanks in advance,

I'm experiencing the exact same issue, and was wondering if anyone has
a resolution to it. All the MSKB links posted previsouly do not seems
applicable.
I'm personnaly experiencing this only on my YAHOO pop account and not
on the others.
Any help is welcome :-)

Erik.
